CHRYSANTHEMUMS, 
AND HOW TO GROW THEM. By C. E. SHEA, Esq. 
A Practical and Scientific Treatise, that will be of 
great service to the oldest and most successful exhibitor as 
well as to the youngest grower of the Autumn Queen. Mr. 
Shea has by the treatment explained in this treatise had a long 
series of triumphs, to which this season he has addedin keen 
competition with our most noted growers at the Kent County, 
Watford, and Crystal Palace, finishing with the difficult feat of 
gaining first honours with forty-eight Japs, at the Royal Aqua¬ 
rium Show on November ioth. 
In additionto the above, a Paper by Mr. H. Shoesmith is also 
included in my new Chrysanthemum Catalogue, which also 
contains the most complete list of new varieties ever brought 
together, and embraces selections from all the known Chrysan¬ 
themum world.

SATURDAY , JANUARY 2nd , 1892. 
fifxiT 1891.—A review of all matters 
horticultural, incidental to the past 
year, would in the short space available in 
these columns be impossible. Probably 
most of the events of the 3’ear are still 
fresh in the memory of our readers. Some 
are perhaps unworthy of recall, some are 
even yet of a regretful nature. Still it is 
not possible to omit reference to the 
vacancies which grim death caused in the 
ranks of our profession, especially in the 
earlier days of the year. We had in such 
men as John Dominy, of Chelsea, William 
Barron, of Elvaston, J. F. Meston, of 
Westminster, Frank Casey, of Clapton, 
Charles Haycock, formerly of Maidstone, 
Alfred Dickson, of Chester, Dr. Woodman, 
formerly of Exeter, and Edward Roger 
Cutler, a number of votaries of horticulture 
who could ill be spared, and, remembering 
this list of mortality, we may well pause and 
ask, whose turn will come next ?
